    Yes sir. She is handling daily duties at the moment so there are lots of little things to take care of. But otherwise, things are going well and the heat works so good! I have some more videos in the queue already! Glad you like the focus content. Its hard for me to know what people like!

    Not looking forward to doing this on the ground. Lol. Those subframe bolts are probably gonna be awful to break loose with a bar. Lol. I got a notch worn in the rack and the steering binds up when i turn to the right. My pump is leaking pretty good too. Lol. So im swapping the rack, pump, and all those rusty lines at once. Im also getting the SVT style pressure line cause i got an SVT header to swap in there. Lol. Wish me luck. Lol

    It is probably a very similar procedure, but I think the 2005 focus may have a slightly different rack part number. But overall I would expect them to be 99% the same.
